Mixed GitHub and GitLab teams

The situation

Platform engineering, agencies, and companies mid-migration often juggle GitHub.com, GitLab.com, and sometimes self-hosted GitLab at the same time. Each git host has its own official Slack app with a different notification model - and both tend to flood channels with separate messages per event.

Common pain points

• Two Slack integrations with different configs and different noise levels
• Engineers miss reviews because notification patterns differ between hosts
• No single place to manage channel routing across GitHub repos and GitLab projects
• Agencies need client repos on different hosts without multiplying tools

How MergeMe fits

• One workspace connects GitHub.com, GitLab.com, and self-hosted GitLab together
• Same single updating Slack card model for pull requests and merge requests
• Channel mappings tagged by git source - pick a GitHub repo or GitLab project per mapping
• User mappings scoped per git source for @mention resolution
• One Slack connection per workspace
